The ultimate weapon! (spoilers for underground content)
« on: October 13, 2011, 08:09:44 pm »


Some of them make a satisfying pop, but most just drop dead right around this point. The rest... well, you can see the fate that awaits the bolt-wasters.

This actually worked better than I thought -- based on my attempts to turn a bronze colossus into an archery target, I thought that those dwarves at the top would fire only if they had a single fortification between them and the target. But nope, they all start firing. This is probably because they can path to the enemies here.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

If dropped items could trigger pressure plates, you could have the dwarves shoot in such a way that if they missed they could send invaders falling to their doom through a cleverly placed floor hatch.

Hmm, do floor hatches have the same weight limit as bridges? They are vulnerable to building destroyers though.

They have no limit, and destroyers generally path towards creatures before destroying buildings.  Bait cats ftw.
